The We Can’t Be Friends singer also revealed that a deluxe edition of the album will be released, although fans will have to wait a while to hear it.
Ariana said: ‘I want to let (the album) live in this current state a little bit longer.
‘(I want to) take my time to execute my vision for this luxury and make sure it’s worth the wait and as special as I think it can be.’
She continued: ‘I definitely thought this album was perfect as it was, and I still feel the same way.
‘Over time, I’ve been inspired to write more songs and I’ve been leaning towards making this luxury one.
“I’m looking forward to putting a creative spin on this narrative and I have a lot of ideas. It’s an idea that has become something I can’t stop doing.”
Grande says the delay in the deluxe edition’s release is due to her role as Glinda in the highly-anticipated Wicked films.
Speaking to the Shut Up Evan podcast, Ariana said: “I want to keep doing that too. It would be a cool idea to be able to put some shows in between the two Wicked movies… It would be a little sampling of shows, I think. It’s something my team and I are working on.”

She said of the release date: ‘I’ll let that be a surprise, but I wouldn’t say it’ll be in the very near future.
‘I’m also trying to navigate the right timing for all of this, because I really want to fully embrace it when the time comes to shift gears.
‘I’m working on it constantly and will have more information about the schedule soon.’
“I’m also trying to find the right time for all of this to happen, because I really want to give myself completely to it when the time comes to shift gears. I’m working on it constantly and I’ll have more information about the timing soon,” he added. Seen in 2020
